Fabian and the Deadly Wedding

Fabian, a down on his luck con artist, slips into an opulent wedding as if it were a safe hiding place. The party promises glamour, but he quickly learns the celebration hides a serious motive behind the guest of honor’s coveted gift. What starts as a harmless prank turns into a real problem as Fabian is pulled deeper into a web of secrets, rivalries, and half whispered loyalties. The discovery of a corpse in the garden pavilion shifts the mood from celebration to danger, and Fabian finds himself chasing clues between speeches, family feuds, and misread signals. He improvises, bungles, and discovers that one wrong move can drag innocent bystanders into trouble.

Directed by Markus Sehr, Fabian and the Deadly Wedding is built from an original screenplay by Martin Eigler, Judy Horney and Sven S Poser. The cast includes Bastian Pastewka as Fabian Kurtz, Tamara Romera Ginés as Milva Piel, Anton Dreger as Clemens Piel, Barbara Philipp as Freya Piel, and Ercan Durmaz as Armin Piel.

Box office figures for the movie have not been publicly released. The production positions itself with festival friendly ambitions and a theatrical roll out aimed at German audiences and international viewers who enjoy quirky mystery comedies.

There are no major nominations announced for the film at this time. The ensemble, led by Pastewka, has drawn attention for its timing and chemistry, but no awards have been confirmed as part of the release window. Critics may highlight its witty dialogue and character dynamics, and the way the wedding setting heightens the tension while keeping the humor accessible.

Reviewers are likely to note the blend of farce and mystery, the way a wedding becomes a pressure cooker, and Fabian's evolving ethics as the conman figures out what deception costs others. The story looks at luck, consequences, and how a single deceit ricochets through a family.
